Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ Powerful DEWALT 20V MAX Vacuum for Wet/Dry Cleaning - Introducing the DCV581H by Janet Winn

Revainrating 4 out of 5

-This thing can suck through a water hose without a golf ball.

It's a Monster! So it was definitely on the list of things I wanted to have. Pros: - It's wireless AND wired! - It's not as hard as it might seem, my fiancรฉ even uses it without complaint! - This thing can suck a golf ball through a water hose without wearing lipstick. The accessories fit snugly in the hose and won't fall off like other shop vacuums. Enough to perform REAL tasks. My batteries are from a drill/percussion set, they are about 4 years old but will hold vacuum for over 25 minutes. (higher overall operating frequency) but don't have an effective means of measuring this - I threw the crap out of my tools and have shown no mercy on this unit and can vouch for its overall strength/construction. I'm afraid I'll end up breaking the hose (due to its flexibility) and probably tripping and stepping on other accessories (so all my vacuum accessories go bad). - 5 stars I would buy again! Cons :-D@mn the exhaust for this thing is on the wrong side for a person's dominant right hand. I am holding/carrying the unit with my left hand and operating the hose/accessory with my right hand and the outlet/blower port tends to blow in the direction I am trying to clean. BUT, this little blemish is not an obstacle! Just a little annoying for someone with little more than no OCD. However, I found a rather interesting solution. I take a wide-angle accessory and put it in the exhaust port. This not only makes the car a little quieter, but directs the air in all directions. Preferably away from what you want to suck in. The fan side does not blow very hard when a hose is connected to it. This is most likely due to the degree of bending and ribbing on the inside of the hose or the design of the blade. Not sure - removing the battery: OLD STYLE socket The battery is a bit difficult to remove for a person with large hands. I don't have a newer dead battery. Things I have used for: - Cleaning drywall and garage debris - Cleaning baseboards - Cleaning car interiors, floor mats, dash + center console etc - Cleaning wood dust - Portable cleaner Common household liquid use
